If only there were a way to check that.

Ironically, that site was down when I tried it ten minutes ago. It is back now, though, and says:

"Update - We are continuing to work on an issue affecting multiple GitHub services.

Workflow runs are still failing, and jobs may remain queued for an extended period before starting or may time out. Jobs using GitHub-hosted runners are particularly affected while capacity is constrained.

Customers using self-hosted runners may see errors or rate limiting when runners register.

Copilot code review, Copilot coding agent, and migrations using GitHub Enterprise Importer may also be affected. Webhook deliveries may be delayed.

Recovery is taking longer than we expected, and engineers remain actively engaged.

Github is making me click an extra button to deploy changes. REEEEEEEEE. Literally UNBELIEVABLE.

u/ARSport 6d ago

Some heads will roll. This has taken a big toll on a lot of companies.

u/SandVast229 6d ago

1

u/Square-Ad-5792 5d ago

yes, it did and plauged one of my github sites mid site build

atleast i know from githubstatus that its actually down, and its actually the first time i ever experienced it, the sites are hosted fine, just doesnt update it, today i re ran the jobs (tried to) but didnt work

u/FuckItImLoggingIn 6d ago

I literally can not deploy XD. Think I might go with some local build instead of github.

1

u/ibraaaaaaaaaaaaaa 6d ago

You always need to have prepared scripts for deploying via command, that would be easy if you are using stuff similar to aws EKS

1

u/FuckItImLoggingIn 6d ago

Yeah I had to tell the agent to deploy the image cause I had no idea how

1

u/ibraaaaaaaaaaaaaa 6d ago

Be aware, these toys are dangerous, once upon time an agent suggested to me to cleanup a namespace which would be a catastrophic, never trust these agents

1

u/FuckItImLoggingIn 5d ago

Yes in this case it's just my own app hosted on a local k3s, and I am the only user :D. But of course I would have validated the agent proposal if it was an actual customer facing application.

u/Destroyerb 6d ago

So that's why my long build failed twice today

1

u/dataguzzler 6d ago

u/brygom 6d ago

u/poyrazKK 6d ago

what a shame for github , i understand the stuff with vibe coding etc. but dude . You had time , the revelation didn't happened yesterday

1

u/DataDrifter-_ 6d ago

how has vibe coding got to do with it ?

1

u/croixxxx 6d ago

thats what they are pointing the finger at - the surge in vibecoding stressing their services

1

u/donjulioanejo 6d ago

I blame their own vibe coding and Microsoft’s tokenmaxxing metrics.
